Ok, just throwing this out there-pure speculation-Megan almost got a little carsick, and said the taste of the sherbet was off - tasted like perfume to her-maybe she is pregnant?

And what about Ginsburg's telling Peggy about being born in a concentration camp? And that his "father" is not his father, but a man who found him in a Swedish orphanage at 5 years old? What a story-if it is true. Why would he lie about something like that?

It would be amazing-to be born in the camps, and be smuggled out to safety. And maybe his father is his father. I did expect the dad to correct Peggy when she called him "Ginsburg" - you know, say "His name is...(whatever), not Ginsburg..." I love that character, the dad-so sweet!

If Megan hadn't made the comment [last week] "That's impossible", in response to Don's "let's make a baby", I'd say it could be true. Of course, we really don't know what she meant by the remark... secretly on the pill? infertile? trying to confuse us?

On Michael's background... Though it's my understanding that pregnant women and young children didn't survive, I'm sure more things went on post-war than we might even imagine, regarding displaced persons. Even if his father isn't his biological parent, he is still "his father". In college I had a boyfriend with an older brother and younger sister. His mother had been in a concentration camp and his father was part of the underground. One day he mentioned that his "sister" wasn't really his sister... she had been orphaned during the war and when it was over my BF's parents simply attached her to their family and brought her to the US as their daughter.

Peggy storyline was a hard one to accept, they really did give her the hardest storyline, she's trying to follow in Don's footsteps, but doesn't have his overconfidence, and then to get hit with the Ginsberg sub-plot, wow, I didn't see that coming at all.

The problem isn't her lack of confidence so much as her lack of penis.

The Heinz guy was a sexist asshat.

(and yes, of course that was standard for the time. The depressing part is how little it's changed.)

I'm going to go against the grain and say that this show has gotten off track. I hope that Cooper's pep talk with Draper means we will get more into the business side of advertising, instead of the many side stories that keep getting generated every week. This show is getting Soprano-itis. Too many side stories that won't get resolved within the season.

I strongly disagree. It's about advertising primarily and the 60s secondarily. After all, it's called "Mad Men" for a reason...

Totally disagree. The show is about Don and the people around him. Advertising and the 60s are just the backdrop. Weiner didn't create this show to tell advertising stories. He created this show to tell the story of a very complicated individual who had an extremely unpleasant childhood and as an adult took the first opportunity he could be become someone else. The advertising is just a vehicle to keep the story moving. The show could just as easily be set in a law firm, or a bar, or police station, or hospital. The setting is secondary to the characters.

You misinterpreted what I said (and I didn't say it clearly). I'm disagreeing with the show primarily being about the 60s. What I meant to say is I believe it's MORE about advertising than it is about the 60s. Of course, it's PRIMARILY about Don, who is an ad man...
